Ensemble Arabesques & Paul Rivinius

Ensemble arabesques
In 2011, the German-French cultural festival arabesques was launched in Hamburg. With more than 50 events each year, it is now the biggest festival of its type in northern Germany.

The Ensemble arabesques, which to begin with was active only during the festival, has now developed its own momentum and performs in Germany and abroad throughout the year. The ensemble is made up of musicians from the three major Hamburg orchestras – the Philharmonic State Orchestra Hamburg, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra. In varying combinations, the artists focus mainly on unusual musical projects ranging from baroque to modern. Little-known composers or works that have fallen into oblivion form a central part of the ensemble's work.

Paul Rivinius

As a chamber musician, he has achieved notable success with the Clemente Trio. In addition, he performs with his brothers in the Rivinius Piano Quartet and has been a member of the Mozart Piano Quartet since 2004. Paul Rivinius taught for many years as professor of chamber music at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin.
